I'll second that. I remember Ballmer's "Linux is a cancer..." and gave  
an overview of the origins and rationale to students in a (shame - the  
only Powerpoint) presentation I still use: http://www.slideshare.net/cubexplorer/opensource-5479951

thank you Mr. Stallman. Thank you Mr. Torvalds. :-)

I'm not surprised people have an opinion and are informed about these
things. I'm old enough to remember how Microsoft sucked the life out of the
desktop software industry due to their anti-competitive practises. They
were able to do this cuz they could keep their source code secret, it
enabled their monopoly and helped them use their monopoly to their
competitive advantage. The only reason software does not suck any more is
because of the GPL. Period. thank you Mr. Stallman. Thank you Mr. Torvalds.
:-) It's all true, I tells ya.

Perhaps this rich seam of knowledge could be captured in a little  
Camping app: 'a guide to software licenses' :-)

Heh.  Actually, it is not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_license#Various_versions
Or at the vary least, it's still a bit ambiguous.  However, the Expat
license has received much support as "MIT license" in various
comminities, so I guess we might consider it not to be so ambiguous
anymore.

Cheers,
Paul

Heh.  Actually, it is not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_license#Various_versions
Or at the vary least, it's still a bit ambiguous.  However, the Expat
license has received much support as "MIT license" in various
comminities, so I guess we might consider it not to be so ambiguous
anymore.

Cheers,
Paul
